On Saturday a public meeting was held at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's-street, the object of which was to raise a subteriptiou to relieve (in some measure) Mr. Buckingham from the distress which has been brought upon hint by the suppres aion of his paper, the Calcutta Journal, by the Indian Govern ment. Lord Jorni R usanr., on taking the Chair, shortly addressed the meeting. He stated, that having attentively listened to all the evidence which had been given before the committee recently appointed by the House of Commune, to inquire. into Mr. Buck ingham's case, the opinion , which he previously entertained of the hardships suffered by that gentleman had been thereby strengthened. The conduct of Mr. Buckingham, which had drawn upon him the enmity of the Indian Government, so far from reflecting any discredit upon him, was highly praiseworthy, and agreeable to those examples of freedom which we were accustomed to admire and hold up as worthy of imitation by others. Mr. Bucking ham's case was one which peculiarly called for the sympathy of the people of this country, and that gentleman had a right to expect support from all who were placed in a more fortunate situation than himself. It was his deliberate opinion that there was nothing in any one of the articles written by Mr. Bucking ham, and objected to by the Indian Government, which could reflect the slightest stain on his character. , Mr. D. Kisrsrman stated, that Mr. Buckingham was at Pre sent involved in great embarrassments, owing to the suppression of the Cakuttu jograce , froru'which he t ou t expected to derive an income of 9,0001. a year, upon a fair valuation of the pro perty. Having had a personal intercourse with Mr. Bucking ham from the moment of his arrival' in - England, he could undertake to say, that a more honourable or upright individual did not kist. The honourable gentleman then moved, " that a public subscription he opened for the relief of Mr. Buckingham." Mr. Hosts: seconded the motion, which he said would afford the public an opportunity of expressing. the . indignation which was so generally felt against the despotic conduct of the Indian Government towards Mr. Buckingham. The resolution was carried. After some observations byMr. HILL, Sir C. FORBES, and Sir J. Done, a committee was appointed for managing the sub scription, and the meeting, which was highly respectable, se parated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KINGS BENCH, JUNE 5. EX CARTE lIROWL Mr. Brown, formerly one of the partners in the Windsor bunk, which failed some years ago, and who, it was understood, had been a prisoner nearly ten years in the King's Bench prison, under a warrant of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy; for being unable to accoust in a satisfactory manner for certain notes of that bank which had been returned afterpsymenti and destroyed or cancelled, this day appeared by habeas corpus, to apply to the Court for his discharge. The Loan Crime JosTim before he permitted him to state his ease, inquired by what authority he haul sued oat the writ. Mr. Brown said, he had himself sued it out. The Loan CHIEF Jucrter..--Then you had no right to do so tvitljout the authority of this Court, or of a Judge, anti must therefore he remanded. _ Mr. Brown said, he was not aware that there was such a rule in existence, and requested the Court %mild advise hint how to proceed in forma pauperic. The Lotto Clime dusver.--..-It i►► not the duty of the Court to advise parties how to proceed, as by and by some person may come 6n•ward to oppose them. Mr. Drown said, that the solicitor to the commission was now in Court; and as he had been so many years in confinement re quested the Court would hear his application. The Loan Ctitnr JUSTICE.—At is impossible; the Court is sorry you have been in custody so long, but cannot relieve you, as you have obtained the writ of habeas corpus improperly. You must be remanded.- THY KING V. THIt COMVISSIONNIS Or urftwlcr, MR. Mr. Txxnat. appeared to show• cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Parke fits a mandamus, commanding the Commissioners , of Ilerwick-upon-Tweed Pier to . consider whether any or what compensation was due to General Tyrwhitt in respect to damages sustained by Isis fisheries its consequence of their carrying into effect the provisions of the 48th Geo. M., for building that pier, and • improving the navigation of the river' Tweed. General Tyrwhitt, it appeared, was the owner of several mounds or fisheries in the river Tweed, described by different 118111eN, and termed " vats," and which he complained in the progress of the works under the act were injured thereby. Mr. TINDAL put in an affidavit, stating that three of the vats had been.indieted as nuisances to the navigation of the river, and removed by the sheriff. Another complaint was, that one of the piers,had been erected on the' soil of the Gene rare. fisheries. The affidavit denied that fact, and stated that on the contrary it had been erected upon the old pier called Queen Unbolt's Pier; it was also stilted that the General had not given sufficient notice to the Gommilaioners, the act requiring notice to be given within six months after any injury had been received. • Mr. PARR!, in support of the rule, contended that they had given the Cernmissioners notice in due time; but in . consequence of an error in the terme of the stiaudamus obtained in the first instance, they were compelled to commence de novo. They . only asked the Commissioners to consi&h what compeneation General Tyrwltitt was entitled to for the injury done to his property, and if it was found that damage to the amount of one shilling bad been sustained, the General would be entitled under the act to call on the sheriff to issue a writ and summon a jury to assess the real damage. • The Loan Clime Juirrzcs.—What do you say to the removal of the three vats by the sheriff as a nuisance? Mr. PARK E.—We think the Co' mmissioners may take into their consideration whether any damage has beta sustained by such re moval. _ _ The Loan Cuter Jusvica.—No, not for the removal of the naisance. For the other party of your s,ouq►laint we think we trtalie the rule absolute.—Rule absolute accordingly. INSOLVENT PEBTOItS' COVET, JUNE 5. Joseph Hector Norris was brought up to be heard on his pe- - tithe* to he discharged. No creditor appeared to oppose hie application for relief, but the insolvent being considerably in debt WOO subjected to a rigid exa mination by the Court. The insolvent stated, that he formerly held the situation of door-keeper at the StaniP-olliee, in Somer set-house. During the time the debts in his schedule were con tracting, he gave several accommodation acceptances to bills of exchange, and in the end his frieuda whom he thus savoured suf fered the bills to he dishonoured, and the responsibility then rested entirely upon himself. it WA* to this circumstance that he prin cipally attributed his insolvency and consequent application to that Court. • Mr. COMMIB3IOIIer HARRIg ol,eerveti, that it was extremely honest, as well as injudicious, in perious, whatever were their station in life, to ley themselves under Ihthilltiel when they well knew their .incapability to fulfil their engagement*. The Learned Commissioner wished to know whether the insolvent still retaiiied the situation at the Stamp-office? Tlt insolvent replied, that lie had been diseharged, and had thi letter of dismissal in his possessiou. Commisiiioner Hamm—Then produce it, Sir. The insolvent then put it in, a nd the Lear ne d C omm i ss i oner read to the tidlowing fg Th e c omm i a ,ion e ra of his Majesty's Stamp.office hereby in form you, th ii t they cannot any long er reu imi n their employment persons whose necessities render them liable to imprisoomeqt for debt, on account of the 'great hindrance to public b us i ness "use, quent thereon.' Yoh may receive snow aalary u p to t he presen t day, and th en consider y o urself discharged tib t „ your former -situation;." -• The Learned Commissioner sahl , that he felt glad to observe that his Majesty' s C 44 umnissioners had collie to th e d eterm i nat i on of adopting thi s mod e o f procedure , and he theught that if pub..' ' betty were given to the circumstanee, it *Mild he p ro d uc ti ve o f a beneficial result—namely, it might act as a - caution against - ini providewe, and also against fraudulent and unnecessary contracts. After remarking on the improprkty of the insolvent's conduct, in causing paper to be - put into circulation to the prejudice of third parsons, he ordered the prisoner to be discharged, as mope of the holder* cOmplained against him, ll* DEATH OF M. VON WEBER. We announced in our Paper of yesterday the death of M. Von Weber, the distinguished composer of Der Freisehiitz, Euryanthc, Oberon, and other musical works of the first order, which took plaCe yesterday mot ii ing at the house of Sir Geo. Smart, in Great Portland street, where he has resided since his arrival from the Continent. The event may he termed sudden, sinceino, immediate danger was apprehended on Sunday night by his medical attendants ; but it was foreseen that his decease could not be far distant, and all hope of his return to his country had long been abandoned 'on the part of his friends. His: complaint was a ' monary affection of long standing. His age, we' understand, was only thirty-nine, mid- thus M. Von Weber, who undoubtedly was one of the greatest mu sicians that has existed since Mozart, liar, 'like him, been taken from that .profession to which he Was an ornament • before he could be said, • in point of age, to. • have attained the full maturity of his genius. The symptoms of his disorder had not as sumed a form in any material degree alarming until .Friday last; when M. Von Weber was compelled.. to keep .his roam, but his spirits and his appetite were good, and he entertained no sense whatever of his approaching danger. The only change remarked. in hun Within the last few days was an increasing anxiety to return to his own country. His friends, of course, studied to divert him from an idea they foresaw could never he realized, but all direct opposition only tended to create in hint great uneasiness, and his mind grew cheerful in proportion as he conceived the various obstacles that presented themielves were capable of being surmounted. A friend and countryman who paid him constant attention, supped with him, and left him at 11 o'clock on the night before his death, apparently cheerful, and in-no immediate danger. 7'lle was found in a lifeless state at seven o'clock yesterday morning, , and though medical aid. was promptly resort ed to, it was too late, the vital spark being quite ex tinct. M. Von Weber gave a concert so recently as the 26th ult. at the Argyll-rooms, at which he pre sided, and gratified the audience by several new emu positions of extraordinary merit. One of the most remarkable among them was a song from Lalla.llookh, composed expressly for Miss Stephens, and which Was accompanied by M. Von Weber himself on the piano forte. The following are the words to which this composition was adapted : Frew Chindara's warbling fount I come, Calf'd by that moon-light garland's. spell ; From Chindara's fount, my fairy home, Where in music, morn and night, I dwell. • Where lutes in the air are heard about, And voices are singing the whole day long, And every sigh the heart breathe§ out Is toned, as it leaves the lips. to song Hither I come From my fairy home, And if there's a magic in Music's strain, I swear by the breath Of that moonlight wreath, Thy lover shall sigh at thy feet again. For mine is the lay that lightly floats,. And mine are the murmuring, dying notes, That fall us soft as snow on the sea, Anti malt in thr heart as instantly ! And the passionate strain that, deeply going, Defines the bosom it trembles through, • As tie uniskwind over the . Waters blowing, Ituffloa the waves, but sweetens it tool u, hither 'come Front my fairy some, And if there's a magic in Music's strain, I wear by the breath Of that moon-light wreath, Thy lover shun sigh at thy feet again. Only the melody of this song, we understand, has yet been committed to paper. The composer, when it was performed, supplied he accompaniments from re collection of what had been his own design ; but the short interval allowed him previous to the concert, bas prevented their being preserved in any shspe ; and it may, perhaps, become a problem among the great mu sicians of the present day how that can be best filled up which M. Von Weber has left unfinished. His anxiety to do justice to any subject on which he was engage d may be evident by the fact, that before he would engage in the composition of the song above quoted, he insisted,on reading the whole poem, which he had not seen before. He was impressed by its pe rusal with the highest admiration of Mr. Moore, and ex pressed a very strong desire to be introduced to him. The opera of Der Freisehiitz, with all the original music, was to have been performed yesterday evening, at Covent-garden Theatre, for the benefit and under the superintendence of the composer, but his increas ing indisposition, which prevented his attendance, familycats i d willthe postponementn()t, o course, lose the a performance. vunTatie, , but Hrais ther, by the increased sympathy of the public with heir misfortune, have it more than doubled to them on the first occasion the inanag,ers of the theatre may ofThr. M. Von Weber, previous to hisarrival in this coun try, resided at Dresden, where he occuied the post of Maestro di Cappello to the king of Saxony, in whose Court be was held in the greatest estimation. Indeed, in all parts of Germany be is spoken of with enthusiasm, as a musical genius of the first order. His opera of Der Freisch;it,T., though not superior to many others of his composition, has attr trted the universal attention, and its popularity in this country first led to the idea of an invitation to M. Von Weber to visit England, and to compose an opera for the English stage. This enga eeent he fulfilled by the production of Oberon , whit!r m he has only survived a few weeks, and which, as it has been the last, will probably be ranked hereafter as the finest of his dra matic compositions. The state of M. 'Von Weber's h ea lth, w hich rendered hint peculiarly susceptible of the variations in the weather of an English spring, has prevented his being a very frequent visiter in the fash ionable circles ; and he possessed, perliapi, too poi er flit a consciousness of real merit to descend to those little arts by which popularity is to he secured within t h at ran ge. We understand that several members of the musical profes , ,ion have already intimated a desire to pay every possible revect to the remains of a man who may be truly said to have advanced and done honour to the art ; and when the loss it has now sus tained becomes more gvierally known, it cannot be doubted that the sante disposition will manifest itself more extensively. M. Von Weber, we hear, has left a w if e an d two children, bat who did not UCCOmpatiy him on his journey to England. THEOLOGY.

The present state of the descendants of th e anc i ent people of Israel is such as cannot but excite the atten tion of the most casual observer, not the least remark able feature in their national character is tho pertinacity with which they have adhered to the religion of their ancestors, when living, scattered among other nations and exposed to contumely, and often to persecution, and almost to extermination, on the ground of their peculiarities. Notwithstanding all the assaults of per secution in ruder times, and all the endeavours of pro selytism in more enlightened ages, they have still retained their faith unaltered ; and neither has any distinct political community been established among, them ; nor any body.of converts gone over to Chris tianity. In respect to the latter object much attention has been of late years excited in the Christian world. No believer in Scripture can hesitate to relmit, what Mr. Bingham in these discourses particulaily dwells upon, viz. that the ancient prophets do in sufficiently explicit terms predict the ultimate conversion and restoration of this people. But while the ;eneral prediction is admitted, it must at the same tune be confessed that many interpreters have gone to an injudicious extreme in the minute mid particular interpretations they, have put upon these passages. Mr. Bingham appears to us to have in a great degree kept clear from these faults. He has c onfi ne d himself to proving, by a numerous citation of passages, the general position ; and dwells particularly on the circumstance that their conver sion is to bebrought about by the agency ofhuman means and ordinary causes. Among these he considers the London Society fir' the conversion of the Jews, to'be one of the most promising ; and the object of his dis courses is to introduce a strong appeal in favour of the objects of that Society. Upon this particular point, we do not know that we can quite agree with him, at least we believe it pretty certain, that this So ciety, from the testimony of its own reports, his, during the whole time since its establishment (we believe about fifteen years,) made but a very scanty number of converts. If then experience is to be relied on, we should be tempted to imagine that some further causes remain to be brought into operation before any great or permanent conversion can be looked fbr. We should be sorry to say any tiling in disparagement of tin institution set ibrward, no doubt with the purest Christian motives, or of the mipport given to its cause by so zealous and able an ed - vacate as the author of the discourses befine us ; on the contrary, we are disposed to' view all endeavours of this kind as conspiring together to be ultimately useful in the cause of true religion ; though we are inclined to imagine that their operation will be but very indirect, and their prospects exceedingly remote. One of The first objects towards the amelioration be foundin thefhe Jewisht extension f ttee°lllie w .) system ec orei conceive will be found in the extension oftlieir system of education, which we believe is at present usually of the most confined description. There are testimonials in the hook before us from some of their most learned Rabbis that, they had not even heard of the existence of the New 'Testament! We would, however, by no means be understood as wishing to discourage any judicious attempts to introduce' the knowledge of the (hemel among this interesting people : and in patio to our author's views, we will extract one of his most foreiblo appeals on their behalf. would entreat you, my Christian friends, to divest your minds of every old-fashioned prejudice, and leant to look upon the Jews in a new light—in another aspect. Consider them no longer its a people to be trainpled on, despised,' scorned, and left to pedal& ; but regard them with pity and compassion, and allow them at least/Jame portion in your Christian benevolence: Oli ! cell not Zion an outcast,' hut rather learn to favour her dust-- seek her good—and prey for her peace and pardon.

The mere they hate the Ito d Jesus, the greater their danger; and the greater their danger, the more needful is it to seek to be instrumental in bringing theta into safety ! But whether the work is diffieult—whether wee enjoy all the somas we could wish for—whether there are many tlituippointments, and we often labour in vain ; are nut the questions which it becomeS us to canvass. Ati they in a perishing state? and, Ilow can we help them ? and, 'Who will go? are the inquiries which best become us. For, to suppose rase which couldltot but deeply interest your feelings, if tk lent ship were known to be in a sinking condition within trigs of our shores, should we waste the preeions moments i,i weiglimg all the difficulties of getting to her?
